US LHCNet Purchase orders for the 3 new TA links across the Atlantic have been issued by Caltech. Contracts with GC, Colt and Qwest will be signed soon. Transition to the new Caltech contracts and new services from the present services (under contracts with CERN) by November.
Transition to optical-multiplexer based core for Layer 1 fallback in case a link goes down, and granular circuit-oriented services.
